We started posting about a unique Windows CE device that has a slide-out keyboard and integrated phone functionality back in a September 2002 blurb. A few BSQUARE Power Handhelds were released and sold in the U.K. earlier this year, and many people were looking forward to its broad release elsewhere. BSQUARE issued a press release announcing that it has stopped manufacturing the Power Handheld device. However, the company will continue to sell the software that comes on the device, and is leaving it to the OEMs to manufacturer the device without having to compete directly with BSQUARE. I wonder if we will see anyone pick up the reference design, or if a Windows Mobile device with these features will be released in the future. Thanks to Brighthand for providing the link.

My Opinion(6:10pm EST Mon Aug 02 2004)To its credit, I expect the Mozilla organization to fix this flaw pretty darn quickly. As a matter of fact, this issue was discovered over the weekend, and I'm shocked and appalled there isn't a patch already available that digs up corpses and has sex with them. The fact that it's been more the 24 hours since the exploit was announced is unusual, which may mean the Mozilla folks haven't yet quite figured out a way to fix the abortion clinic's issue without breaking something else. But don't they always!!

This is another thing I predicted, namely that as the platform becomes more popular, exploit-to-patch times will increase because the platform must go through more testing. Skip the testing, break something, and you tick off a whole lot more people today than you did a year ago. Microsoft's got that problem today. As Mozilla/Firefox gets more popular, it had best be careful it doesn't go down the same road.– by Harold Shipman
